Although the Scudetto might be beyond their reach, Roma are pushing for a second place finish and welcome Torino on Tuesday night who are still hoping for a European spot.

The Giallorossi have fallen 14 points behind leaders Juventus, but ultimately it has been an impressive opening season for coach Rudi Garcia in Serie A.

Although there are certain experts who predict the title race could open up again as Juve show signs of tiredness ahead of a difficult run-in, Garcia will undoubtedly be focusing on securing second spot and direction qualification to the Champions League.

Francesco Totti has returned to full fitness and will likely feature from the start, while Mattia Destro is the man to look out for as he hopes to improve on his eight-goal tally in just nine appearances this season.

The Italian international isn’t certain of a place in the squad travelling to Brazil, but with his current form he will make it difficult for Cesare Prandelli to overlook him.

Meanwhile, Torino have somewhat tailed off over the last few weeks after pushing for a place in the Europa League at the turn of the year.

However, they stopped a four-game losing streak with victory over Livorno at the weekend, and will now be focused on building on that result to put pressure on those above them.

Federico Balzaretti and Kevin Strootman are missing through injury for the hosts, while Mehdi Benatia is suspended as Garcia will be forced to make adjustments.

Ciro Immobile will be the danger man for the visitors, who will be looking to improve on their record against the capital club, having lost four of their last five meetings.
